CDNN also has an 1873 short rifle in 357 for $999.99. Extremely well made guns - I've been thinking about getting a 357 & might spring for one...

Just FYI... I was in my Cabelas today... they have 2 new Winchester 92's... a .44 and a .45. One is a pistol grip (the .44) and the other a straight grip, both are priced at $1750. Not that they aren't beautiful rifles... and I'll be they shoot!... but I just don't see $1750 worth of rifle. Just me, and YMMV.

I do. But then, I may not be entirely sane ......
Well, I still live in the past. My Browning 71 was $700, and my Browning 1886 was about the same... but, of course, that's 1990'ish dollars. Granted, I spent $1750 on my M1a... so there is that.
Not that those rifles aren't real lookers... they certainly are! ...but I'd like to see, like the OP was looking for, just a plain-jane version like the old Brownings. Further, they should chamber it in .41 Magnum... but then, I'm may not be entirely sane.

For some reason, 357 levers are hard to find. The only one I see regularly is the Henry, which I personally own. Rossi no longer has it on their website and I haven’t seen one of the new Marlins yet.

Just FYI... they did have a .38SPC version, I'm not sure... it was either a '73 or '66, I don't recall. I think it was around $1200.

Picked it up today - absolutely beautiful Miroku made faithful reproduction of the original. I'll try to get some pics and post them later today, probably in a new thread but I will comment here when I do.
